Warp Zoned’s 2018 Golden Pixel Awards: Our Favorite Games From Last Year

Posted on January 9, 2019 by Warp Zoned Staff

2018 was an absolutely astounding year for video games, and while we might not have gotten the chance to play everything we wanted, the Warp Zoned staff was definitely able to add a big batch of new games to our “Favorites” pile.

This year’s selection of standout titles offered something for everybody… Insomniac’s Spider-Man let us soar above Manhattan as the webslinger like never before… The mountainous milieu of Matt Thorson’s Celeste challenged our thumbs and our hearts… Capcom’s Mega Man 11 brought the Blue Bomber back for the first time in almost a decade… And those three games were just the tip of the iceberg.

The Golden Pixel Awards aren’t the “Best Games” from 2018, but these are the titles we plan to return to again and again in 2019 (and beyond). We hope you enjoy them as much as we did. (more…)

Mega Man 11, Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, WWE 2K19: Digital Deluxe, more coming to Xbox Store this week

Posted on October 3, 2018 by John Scalzo

This week’s Xbox Games Store update will look very similar to the new offerings in this week’s PlayStation Store update, and the same trio of big titles will lead the way.

Capcom’s Mega Man, one of the greatest franchises from the late 80s/early 90s, will return in a brand new game this week. The Blue Bomber rides again on the Xbox One in Mega Man 11, which includes a new art style and a new group of Robot Masters under the command of Dr. Wily.

Also available to download for the Xbox One this week is Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, the latest game in Ubisoft’s centuries-spanning saga of Assassins and Templars. This time around, players will tear up Ancient Greece and become a legendary Spartan hero.

Finally, 2K Games will launch the WWE 2K19: Digital Deluxe Edition a few days before the Standard Edition’s arrival next week. The Digital Deluxe Edition includes access to the game’s Season Pass, as well as the inclusion of Ronda Rousey and Rey Mysterio as playable wrestlers.

The Games of October 2018

Posted on October 2, 2018 by John Scalzo

The Fall is in full swing here in Warp Zoned’s northerly headquarters, and that means Apple Cider, Pumpkin Spice, a lot of talk about the leaves, and plenty of new video games. There are so many games set to launch this month, but one stands out head and shoulders above all the rest… I’m talking, of course, about Just Dance 2019.

Nah, it’s actually Rockstar’s latest magnum opus, Red Dead Redemption 2. You know you’re doing something right when you’re a developer with multiple magnum opuses (opusii?). And that is definitely the case with Rockstar and their newest trip back to the American West.

But there are other games we’re excited for this month, and you can read all about them after the break. (more…)

New Retail Releases: Mega Man 11, Super Mario Party, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, More

Posted on October 1, 2018 by John Scalzo

The Blue Bomber has been sleeping for the better part of a decade, but Capcom’s venerable mascot will finally return in a new platforming adventure this week for the PS4, Switch, and Xbox One. Mega Man 11 was developed internally at Capcom, and it features a brand new art style, eight never-before-seen Robot Masters, and a handful of new gameplay mechanics that should keep “Mega Fans” on their toes. In addition to its retail launch, Mega Man 11 will also be available to download for the PC.

Several other major franchises will also be making a return this week, and that includes Super Mario Party, the latest addition to Nintendo’s madcap multiplayer series. This time around, Switch owners get to try out Board Game Mode when battling friends, as well as tackle new minigames in Mariothon and Online Mariothon.

If you’re not a Switch owner yet (or you’re thinking of investing in a second Switch console), Nintendo has teamed up with Epic Games to produce the Switch + Fortnite “Double Helix” Console Bundle. The package includes a Switch console with Neon Blue and Red Joy-Con controllers, as well as 1,000 V-Bucks, and the Double Helix Costume Set.

But if you’d rather trade Tilted Towers for the Parthenon, PS4 and Xbox One owners will be able to explore Ancient Greece in Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. According to Ubisoft, players will be able to “journey from outcast to legendary Spartan hero” in Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, which will also be available to download for the PC.

We can race back into the present with Forza Horizon 4, a new arcade-style racer for the Xbox One from Microsoft and Playground Games. A PC download through the Windows Store (which is compatible with Microsoft’s Xbox Play Anywhere service) will also be available.

And finally this week, 2K Games will release the WWE 2K19: Deluxe Edition for the PS4 and Xbox One. This feature-packed version of the game will be available on October 5, four days before the Standard Edition, and include two bonus playable wrestlers (Rey Mysterio and Ronda Rousey), the Season Pass, and all digital content from the Wooooo! Edition.

A complete list of this week’s new retail releases can be found after the break. (more…)
